RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02861
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect a pay date of 21 March
1987 rather than 8 April 1989 and he receive retroactive pay.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Upon obtaining his Air Guard Reserve (AGR) orders (1 June 2012),
the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) inadvertently
changed his pay date from 21 March 1987 to 8 April 1989. This
mistake was originally corrected on 30 June 2004 by the Air
Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC). However, the correction was
never updated in the MilPDS.
In support of the applicants appeal, he provides email
communique, letter from ARPC/DPSSU, DD Form 4,
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United
States, and other documentation.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade
of lieutenant colonel.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants military records, are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. DPSIPV states the applicant
enlisted in the US Air Force Obligated Reserve Section (ORS) to
attend Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) beginning
24 September 1984. He was disenrolled from the program and
discharged 14 October 1986. Furthermore, he did not remain
affiliated with the military; it was not until 8 April 1989 that
he enlisted into the New York Air National Guard. On 15
February 1990, the applicant was commissioned as a second
lieutenant. He served on a Title 32, AGR tour from 1 June 1997
to 31 May 2012. It was during that time that ARPC incorrectly
adjusted his pay date to include the time he was in ROTC.
According to AFI 36-2604, 1.3.4.2.1, HQ AFPC/DPSIPV is
responsible for computing and establishing pay dates for all
prior service members upon entry on to active duty. On 1 June
2012, the applicant entered a Title 10 AGR tour. His service
dates were verified by DPSIPV; the error in his pay date was
discovered and corrected removing the credit for the time he was
in ROTC.
On 30 June 2004, ARPC incorrectly changed the applicants pay
date to 31 March 1987 to include the period of time he was in
ROTC as creditable service.
The applicant did not retain his enlisted status due to his
discharge and subsequent commissioning. Members attending ROTC
are assigned to the Obligated Reserve Section (ORS), not to the
Selected Reserves. To be in the Selected Reserves a member is
assigned to an active Reserve unit and participates in monthly
drills. The AF Reserve members attending ROTC are assigned to
ORS not the Selected Reserve.
ROTC time is not creditable for pay purposes in a commissioned
status. The time is only creditable toward establishing the
Date of Initial Entry to Uniformed Service (DIEUS) and
completion of the Military Service Obligation (MSO). DPSIPV has
corrected his DIEUS date in the MilPDS to the date he entered
ROTC 28 September 1984.
Time spent in ROTC is not creditable service for commissioned
officers.
The complete DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 August 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
_
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
_
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
